New SOCOM, H Hour

Socom 2 was just about the most balanced online multiplayer tactical shooter made. I really hope H Hour can make it work, but they are a long way off from where I had hoped they'd be. The "beta" they have going right now is real rough.

They got originally funded from Kickstarter to make a proof of concept video. They got the funding and made a great video using Unreal 3 for all the coding. Since then, they switched to Unreal 4 and it appears that they've lost a lot of the features that they had for the proof of concept. It's puzzling because I've been told both engines use the same code.

As of now though, this is the only hope for anything near a Socom 2 (or a Socom 1/2) online multiplayer experience coming to console.

Good lord I have fond memories of Socom 2. It's embarrassing how many hours I ended up logging in on that game. To this day, that is the greatest multiplayer experience in my life

Ditto. It's a crying shame what they did to that franchise. :(

H Hour has been a good start to bringing a s2 feel back to the gaming world. I'm playing the beta now and think that SoF Studios has a great start. Hope it hits it big and this game makes it to console

There's not a game to this date that can compare to the early Socom's lobbies, matches and clan control. It was near perfect. Loved the strategy that had to be used and the fact that there was no re-spawn.. Re-spawn has ruined many games for me.

If any of you guys liked Socom II, you should give this a shot next weak on Steam early access. The game has been getting better each week. Got the Socom feel, they are slowly tweaking it and making it better daily.

While it's not Socom II, it's probably the closest thing out there.

I've never understood why no other game has copied the "briefing room" layout from socom.

I couldn't agree more about respawn. It symbolizes the current generation of entitled brats. Everyone gets a ribbon just as everyone gets more than one life in video games.

Socom was the best shooter game ever. Socom 2 was the best of all. You die, you wait until round is over, NO RESPAWNS. This game was about teamwork and strategy! It was best the roll with your clan. Always preferred the 3rd person view.
I formed a pretty good clan (DSM) Dirty South Mob, many of us are still great friends to this very day! Man, I miss that game.
I haven't switch over to PS4 yet due to no games I like. But once the EA Sports Golf (Rory version) is released,I will get one. Hope that H-Hour is released soon as well. It does have that Socom feel and look to it.

Need more OG Socomers to get in on the discussions at SOF community and discussions on the steam page to interject their opinions and preferences while this game is still in development stages
